The CEO’s little ones

Chapter 111:.

“Noah, what did you hear just now?”. Violet’s voice was very soft and haunting like that of a ghost. It was as if she embodied Noah’s fears, her face was pale, she was in a cold sweat, and she was about to faint.

Finally, she shook her head.

“Good boy.” Violet reached up and patted his head.

“All right. You didn’t just hear anything, if I find out you said anything to your father, I’ll be very angry. When I get angry, the consequences are terrible.”

Noah trembled with fear as she touched Noah’s head. He was so oppressed with fear that he almost cried. In that moment, it was as if she reminded him of a distant past. His eyes were wide open and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn’t say a word.

Violet seemed glad to see him so terrified. Her eyes looked at him with disdain and she sneered, “Easy, Noah, I’ll treat you right when I become your mommy. Don’t be afraid.”

…

That afternoon, once Joseph was done with his work, he went to the hospital to sort out the discharge paperwork and took him home. Violet continued to accompany him and eventually got in the car as well when they left the hospital.

“The doctor said Noah has a weak stomach and can’t eat at those food stands.” Violet’s voice echoed in the car.

Noah snuggled into Joseph’s embrace and clenched his fists, but didn’t dare say anything.

Joseph nodded and said kindly, “Understood. Thanks for your help today.”noveldrama

“You’re welcome. I’ve known Noah since he was a baby and naturally I worry whenever he’s not feeling well.” Violet replied.

Joseph heard Violet but began to get distracted as he looked out the window. Maybe he had been too hard on Hayden that morning and that was why he hadn’t returned to the hospital.

It would be Saturday in a couple of days. Joseph stayed home with Noah while he recovered. His vomiting and diarrhea had stopped when he was in the hospital, but he still had a fever when he was at home. Because of this Joseph would not let him go out and wanted him to stay home and rest.

Noah was very active and annoyed Joseph, even though he was still unwell. He wanted to see Hayden and Stella. Noah continued to bother Joseph so much that Joseph couldn’t sleep for several days.

Just as Joseph was coaxing Noah to eat breakfast, the doorbell rang.

Ding Dong

The maid went to the door and, after a short while, remarked, “Stella?”

“Hello.” Stella greeted politely and entered the house with the maid.

“Master, little Noah, Stella is here.”

“Good morning, Mr. Beckham.” Stella cocked her head and looked at Noah who stood behind Joseph, “Noah, good morning.”

Joseph nodded and his expression warmed.

The maid reached for a pair of slippers for Stella, but Stella refused them. She held up a large bowl, set it on the steps and immediately sat down as she exhaled, “It’s so hot outside. I’m exhausted.”

Noah jumped out of his chair, ran over to Stella and started waving his hands at her.

Stella blinked and thought for a while before understanding and explaining, “Mom is home, but last night and this morning she made a bunch of snacks and asked me to bring them over. So I brought them here.”

After saying this, Stella opened the container which had four segments. Each one contained different delicious pies and cakes.

“Okay, I have brought them here. Now I’m going.” She dusted off her butt and was about to leave.

Noah quickly stopped her and turned to look at Joseph anxiously.

Joseph walked over, looked toward Stella and asked, “Did you come alone?”

Stella felt guilty and dropped her shoulders as she nodded, “Yes.”

“Then let me take you back. It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”

“No need, I can walk home.” Stella looked directly at Joseph and suddenly became very serious as she said, “But before I go, I want to explain something to Mr. Beckham.”

“Go ahead.”

“I ate a lot while Noah ate very little at the night market. I was fine, even though I ate a lot of the same stuff Noah did. You can’t hate my mommy just for this, if you hate my mommy for this, then you are no longer the Joseph I like.”

Joseph was stunned. Even though what the girl was saying was simple, he felt empty as soon as he heard it. It was as if he had lost something very dear to him.

Once Stella left, Noah glared angrily at Joseph. He angrily took the bowl away and didn’t even share a piece with Joseph.

Outside the villa, Stella pretended to be deep in thought as she walked away. After making sure no one was around her, she quickly ran to a waiting car.

Once inside, she high-fived a young man. The crisp clap echoed through the car and she said in her pretty voice, “Mission accomplished, Benjamin.”

The young man in the car raised his eyebrows, “Well done, Stella!”.

“But will this make Mom happy?”.

“If Mr. Beckham you like isn’t stupid and has a generous heart, he should apologize to your mother. Once he apologizes to your mommy, your mommy won’t be sad anymore.”

“But what if Mr. Beckham doesn’t apologize?”

“Do you want a man who can’t even demean himself to your mother to become your father?”.

With such a question, Stella didn’t hesitate and shook her head. “I don’t want to! If that were the case, wouldn’t her mother be intimidated by him?

“That’s right.” Benjamin patted Stella’s shoulders and continued, “If it weren’t for Hayden being so affected by that rascal, I wouldn’t even bother to help Joseph. There are so many men in this world.”

“Mom doesn’t care about him. She only cares about Noah.”

Benjamin was dumbfounded when he heard her correct him and said, “Do you know why your mother is so worried about that child? He wasn’t even born to her. Even if she had started to like Joseph, there was no need for your mother to try to reconcile with that child.”

“Because Noah is the same age as my brother, she’s not as you mentioned, trying to reconcile with him.” Stella got careless, quickly covered her mouth and looked at Benjamin as she said, “I didn’t say anything!”.

Benjamin stared at Stella for a moment and said, “I heard that, did you say you have a brother?”.

“No!”.

“Okay, then I’ll ask Hayden and tell him it was you who told me.”

“No!” Stella covered her mouth and tugged at Benjamin’s sleeves as if she was terrified he would ask her mother. She was very anxious, “Every time Mom mentioned my brother I cried. You can’t ask her.”

“So you really have a brother?”.

In the face of such a cunning fox, an innocent little doe like Stella could only give up. The young eyes revealed a tragic sadness and wailed, “It’s complicated.”
